I know nothing at all about Xamarin Forms....This isn't a programming question. It'a plea for guidance & direction.
Anyone know of any decent tutorials on Xamarin Forms VS2017? I've been searching/googling and all I can find is Xamarin Forms VS2015, which of course is entirely different (for the life of me I can't understand why). The templates and generated projects/code for 2015 are totally different than that of 2017
Just now I created a Xamarin Forms VS2017 solution. It generates the projects. I do a build and get errors for various types, both build and deployment. It appears to me that it is either not setup/configured correctly, or it's just plain buggy.
I've tried this a few tims over the years with 2015 and now 2017, and I keep seeing the same thing. I follow a Microsoft/Linked In/Pluralsight tutorial and as soon as I try to build/run I get many different types of errors.
I can't seem to get started. What am I doing wrong? how do I get going on this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

The problem is that every time I try to install/setup/run Xamarin I get a completely different set of errors/problems.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Multiple times over the last few years and versions of VS. My impression is that Xamarin Forms in VS isn't easily set up and their doesn't seem to be much good documentation on it
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

welcome to microsoft rapid craptastic deployment,
they would fix all of the problems, but there's so many useful and important new features much bloat they want to incluse first.
they will promise vs 2019 will fix all of the problems...
but even then don't hold your breath because mostly they pretend there aren't any problems that matter for use in their suggested manner (even when many of their own examples fail).
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

I think it's time to go looking for a monastery to join. I will then be very sanctimonious and wise, truly regret my evil ways, forgive everything similar to this and help them brew beer.

Don't forget to go to the bathroom before the trip because Caspian (or at least Tirian to go) before departing will help avoid stopping later.

For the lion, I'd hide it's eyes. (just to prove the Eagles wrong!)
For the witch, I'd call the FBI/Mueller...I hear they are seeking those creatures!

I'm looking at you, @Mike-Hankey...
Did you already print it? You know, this one here[^].
Well I have and have it sitting on the desk right now. I did not print the tracks yet, but that's because it's still in the last place of my pipeline and I want to get some black filament for the tracks. I used up most of my turd colored filament for the robot and it's going to be airbrushed anyway, but I don't want to have turd tracks.
Anyway, do you know any brushless motor controllers for the Raspberry Pi? All I found was for brushed motors, which I would prefer not to use. I do have two brushless helicopters motors in my parts box, but with around 1 kW they both probably are a little too powerful for bthe little robot and I better get two smaller brushless motors. And I also would like to use other stuff from my parts box, like microservos ore LiPo batteries.
